I don't have NFL package nor Twitter but fortunately have a son who does and sent me both clips. The first one I had to look at 5 times before I realized where he had come from. Basically wide out right in motion left and on the snap does a 180. The second looks like a blown coverage and just ran down the center of the field. Good for him!

Kalif A sight for sore eyes and one of the few positive notes in 2021 for this long suffering (i.e. 63 yrs. and counting) Lions’ fan. His 2 TDs, other catches and punt returns hopefully will cement his position on the roster.

Lions hopefully will finally realize he produces when they throw to him.

Awesome to see Kalif getting two scores. They’ve thrown his way 16 times in the last two weeks so Goff clearly likes him.

From the Lions website
SECOND DOWN: RAYMOND STEPS UP Veteran wide receiver Kalif Raymond had a really nice game for the Lions for a second consecutive week. Down their No. 1 receiver entering the year – veteran Tyrell Williams – the Lions have been looking for some players in the receiver room to step up. Quintez Cephus has had his moments, and Raymond's now put together a couple nice outings in a row. He caught six of 10 targets last week for 68 yards, including a couple key catches on the final possession that gave Detroit a late lead over Baltimore. Raymond caught both of Goff's touchdown passes Sunday in Chicago, a 4-yarder in the third quarter and nice 25-yard post route in the fourth quarter. He finished with three receptions for 43 yards. Cephus led the team with four catches for 83 yards.

What the heck are they thinking??? Are they thinking at all? I can't imagine Kalif is hurt if he is in as a returner.

With no targets for Kalif, I have to ask: (1) is he getting many snaps? (2) is he in on passing downs? (3) does he have trouble getting open? Seems unlikely as fast as he is.......

(4) the Lions are terrible. They did finally take one deep shot to him but he was double covered and it fell incomplete.

Keep the reports coming. I can only speculate that Kalif is thrown to after the Lions (tried to) have lulled the opponent into thinking he's just a decoy as I am sure they want him for the home run ball.
If memory serves, his 2 TDs last week were the Lions' only scores, except for the PATs.

Last time the Lions won anything was 1956. Speaks volumes. Never even got to the Super Bowl let alone won it.

timholycross 1957…I know because I’m the longest suffering Detroit Lions fan with my first memory of the Lions coming in July or August of 1958 where the Lions, as the previous season’s NFL champs, lost the long-time season opening exhibition game to the College All-Stars at Soldier Field in Chicago. Any Lions fan older than me remembers NFL titles in 1952,1953 and 1957 and anyone younger has not lived through the full 63 years of pain since that last title (with that loss to the College All Stars, the loss to the Ravens 3 weeks ago and today’s game with the Vikings being quintessential examples). Consider the following: 1) The Lions have one playoff win in the last 63 years. I believe that is the fewest number of playoff wins of any franchise in the 4 major sports in that same time period, including expansion teams. 2) The Lions have had at least 5 players or coaches die while they were on the active roster, including Chuck Hughes who died during a game at Tiger Stadium and Eric Andolsek who was run over by a truck while mowing his lawn in the summer of 1992. 3) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won the division in which the Lions participate more recently than the Lions even though they have not been in the division for the last 19 or 20 years. 4) As of 3 weeks ago, there have been 25 successful FGs in the NFL of 60 yards or more. 7 of those 25 have been game winners. 3 of those 7 have come against the Lions including 2 that were the NFL record for the longest successful FG at the time made and none of the 25 were made by Lions kickers even though one of the few Lions bright spots has been their FG kickers with Eddie Murray, Jason Hanson and Mike Prater handling FGs for 40 of the last 42 years.
Need I say more.
Kalif will be the only bright spot for me this year as the Lions plod through another rough year.
